David says, “I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” -Psalms 34:1. He knew the various difficulties of life yet found it best to exalt the Lord, and make praise the inspiration of his speaking.

When you take a look at present circumstances, I’m sure positive changes would be received with joy. Those desired changes could move quickly toward the circumstance when your “heart attitude” shifts you to praise. Regardless of the condition of life, God has not changed. If He was worthy of praise when life was good, and He never changes, He remains worthy of praise when there is adversity.

Remember, the Bible says that He, God, dwells, or abides in the midst of our praise. Create an atmosphere of praise and God is found in the midst. If God is close to you because of your praise, He is close enough to remedy any adversity. Make praise a daily discipline.

Choose to make a language shift today and decide that, “PRAISE” will continually be the inspiration of my speaking!” The atmosphere will change for the better.


--Bishop Gerald Doggett
